Automated Inspection & Machine Vision
Example1: A biomedical device manufacturer wanted to inspect the quality of fine channels etched into a glass substrate. On-going ramp-up of the process meant that manual inspection was no longer feasible.
The Solution: A fully automated inspection system was designed and commissioned comprising the following features:
Example2: The reliability of a packaging line needed to be significantly improved by ensuring that each package contained only one product part.
The Solution: An inspection system was developed that could identify both empty and multiple-filled packets. Rejects are notified to the PLC to allow automatic removal from the line.
